Steve on big screen!

By Hindustan Times

Mumbai, Oct. 10 -- Hollywood is keen on bringing the life story of Steve Jobs on the big screen soon. Just days after the death of Apple's co-founder, Sony Pictures began negotiations to buy the screen rights to Steve Jobs, the authorised biography of the technology genius, written by Walter Isaacson. Mark Gordon will produce the big-screen adaptation.

Billed as the only authorised biography, Isaacson based the book on more than 40 interviews with Jobs as well as more than a hundred with his family, friends, colleagues and competitors. The book was initially titled iSteve: The Book of Jobs, but will now be called Steve Jobs. It is scheduled to release on October 24.
